Like other members of the genus Bryophyllum, it is able to propagate vegetatively from plantlets (epiphyllous buds) that develop on the leaf edges. One leaf can carry as many as 50 such plantlets in a single season. Pink flowers, which bloom only on mature plant, are roughly tubular, 2cm (0.8 inch) long and pendent.
Also question is, how does Bryophyllum plant reproduce?
Reproduction in Bryophyllum occurs asexually through vegetative propagation by leaves. These buds can give rise to new plants with adventitious roots, shoots and small leaves. The new plants then detach from the leaves and develop into a mature plant after coming in contact with the soil.
Similarly one may ask, what is a Bryophyllum Leaf?
Bryophyllum pinnatum, also known as the air plant, cathedral bells, life plant, miracle leaf, and Goethe plant is a succulent plant native to Madagascar, which is a popular houseplant and has become naturalized in tropical and subtropical areas.
Bryophyllum pinnatum – House Plants. Bryophyllum pinnatum (Air plant) is a succulent, perennial herb plant. It grows up to 1m- 2m in height. Plantlets grow from the notches of the leaf margins, and they can develop either while still attached to the mother plant, or when detached.
